Breakfast at the Birdfeeders

 Breakfast at the Birdfeeders


A storm of twenty grackles descend on the feeders, their blue-black heads pecking, dropping seeds to their offspring on the ground. Red-wing blackbirds, as well, join in the feast, while squirrels, red and gray, and chipmunks get showered with seed from above. Next blue jays,  house finches, and black-capped chickadees  appear, wondering what the gathering is about, but soon find out, and dine as well. Rabbits enjoy some seed, along with the dutch white clover overspreading our meadow-like lawn. A woodpecker waits for the crowd to subside, then gets his share. Robins bounce along with little competition for their wormy diet.Then the co-stars of the show, the sunbird - oriole - and the firebird - cardinal - have their turn. A busy morning.
